Do Ogden rates apply to all BI claims in the UK or just those which are large enough to go to court?
I assume the tables are used as a reference for all claims (of sufficient size), when insurers negotiate claim settlements. However, do they only have force of law if a court ruling is required in respect of a claim? (That is, an insured is able to negotiate anything they want with the insurer?)
So if there is an Ogden rate change, it'll apply to all BI claims, and for attritional claims you'd have to make some sort of assumption about salary, age and gender mix to assess the impact of the changes? (I know the newest change proposed is a change in discount rate but just wanted to check I've understood this properly)
Thanks!
